R.E.M. Releases Final Holiday Single

Since 1998, R.E.M. has offered exclusive holiday tracks to its fan club every year. And although the band decided to call it quits this year, that didn’t stop the group from releasing its final holiday single this weekend.

The band’s final holiday offering includes two live tracks from their last tour. Consequence of Sound points out that “Perfect Circle” and “Life and How to Live It,” the latter was recorded at the band’s last show, were included in the release.
